Abstract

This paper1 addresses issues associated with reduction of memory usage for a semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation based method and its application to position estimation problem in ad-hoc wireless sensor networks. We describe two new CSDP solvers (semidefinite programming in C) using two algorithms for Cholesky factorization implementing RFP and BHF matrix storage formats and different implementations of BLAS/LAPACK libraries (Netlib's BLAS/LAPACK, sequential and parallel versions of ATLAS, Intel MKL and GotoBLAS). The numerical results given and discussed in the final part of the paper show that using both RFP and BHF data formats preserve high numerical performance of the LAPACK full data format while using half the computer storage.
